Cortisol is termed as the stress hormone because it is produced at higher levels during the body’s fight or flight response to stress. But aside from this, Cortisol is also involved in other bodily functions, such as regulation of blood pressure, inflammatory response, and proper glucose metabolism. Abnormal levels of Cortisol in the bloodstream are associated with some negative effects, including suppressed thyroid function, decreased bone density and muscle tissue, increased abdominal fat, impaired cognitive functions and higher blood pressure, to name a few.

A Cortisol hormone test is recommended once in a while, particularly if you’re experiencing cortisol imbalance-related symptoms. Monitoring your cortisol hormone levels daily helps in the screening and diagnosis of certain diseases. Cortisol level is usually at its highest between 6-8 A.M. and falls during the day. Increased and decreased cortisol level may be an indication of pituitary and adrenal gland problems. In addition, people who do not experience a diurnal variation – the rise and fall of cortisol level during the day – may be suffering from Cushing Syndrome.
